Re: Coming Soon, New Dragonlance Game (3.5)
Ok, Here's how it goes down,
Your PC's will start out at a Solamnic Encampment, filled with Knights, Mercs, healers, mages and refugees. From there, your PC's will get a central "Hook" to go to Solanthus and investigate the disappearance of the Lady Plainswind.
After that, what direction you go, and how you shape things to come, and how they unfold from there, will solely depend on your PC's and the decisions they make. Not that any one action / decision is good or bad; or one better than another.
For example,
at one point a nearby town may be under immediate threat from Ankhars horde. theis information you just came by, and said town has no idea they are about to be squashed. But on the other hand, you have a very real chance at rescuing the Lady Plainswind.
Your choice; while not good or bad one way or another; will effect how other things unfold down the line.
One of the themes here too (keep in mind) is that in war, you cant be everywhere at once; especially with so much going on. So occasionally the PC's will be faced with the knowledge that they knew something was going to happen, and simply couldn't do anything about it.
And yes, backgrounds always play a heavy roll, in all of my games. I'm a firm believer in using a PC's background against him for the development of the character.
Bwahahahahahaha. (just teasing, but yes i do use backgrounds in all my games)
Hope this helps.
